Second Face Transplant

After reading Jeff's blog about the first face transplant, I decided to see if there have been any other face transplants. The second ever face transplant was a Chinese man who had sustained injury from a Black Bear attack. He received a new upper lip, cheek and nose from a brain-dead donor. Doctors say that his scars will fade over time but that the difference in skin color will remain forever. His doctors also say it will be two months until they are sure that Guoxing has not rejected the new tissue. Until then his doctors will remain especially alert to any signs of rejection.
